Today we had a special in house field trip from Mr Funny Hat! All of our friends wore their special funny hats to School to surprise him and was he ever surprised! Mr Funny Hat showed us how to play several instruments including the guitar, banjo, drum and piano accordion. He also shared all of his percussion instruments with everyone and together we helped him to play a song that explored rhythm, tempo and beat. Together with Mr Funny Hat we sang songs about up and down and made some very silly noises! We learnt how construction trucks help to move soil and we even saw all of Mr Funny Hat's crazy hats! He had a watermelon hat, a fuzzy hat, a ball hat and even a rubber ducky hat for the bath! Mr Funny Hat chose a few friends to help him tell a story about a cat and a Mommy bunny and her baby bunnies. They wore masks and did an amazing job getting into the characters. Thank you Mr Funny Hat!

Class 3 has been working hard to learn about colours. We all know the names of the colours now we are learning about primary and secondary colours. We learned that there are 3 special colours that can be mixed together to make the other colours! They are red, yellow, and blue. We have been practising painting with colour palettes so that we gain experience mixing new colours ourselves. It is fun to experiment by mixing all the colours and watching what happens. We can also use our fine motor skills to carefully mix two colours. These experiences are how we start to understand the colour spectrum and the way our eyes see the world around us.

About Us

We are a private Licensed Day Care (Licensed with the Ministry of Education) that offers high quality care for children aged 2.5 yrs – 6 yrs.

You have taken the first step of offering your child a 3 year framework that will extend and challenge their academic learning and expose them to a creative and imaginative world of artistic elements and possibilities.

Our low class size and student: teacher ratio allows your child to be taught at their own academic level and their learning to be tailored to their own strengths and challenges. By giving your child the opportunity to be part of this journey with us they are being immersed in an all encompassing curriculum that intertwines the academic and artistic learning that is relevant to real world success. This curriculum caters for all learners using Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences as well as Blooms Taxonomy to give your child the best learning outcomes. Themes are carried throughout the academic curriculum as well as the artistic curriculum to reinforce concepts and offer all types of learners to interpret and extend.

At Little Feet Little Faces your child is not just another face in the classroom. They are part of our team where every staff member knows their name and has taken the time to personally bond with your child and ensure a secure and trusting attachment has been forged. As a result of this your child comes to preschool happy and excited every day as they know they are safe and the staff love them. Our 3 year plan ensures that your child will receive a solid and comprehensive foundation of emergent and early literacy and mathematical concepts and skills allowing them to transition easily into some of Toronto’s most elite private elementary schools.

Thank you for taking this journey with us. We are excited to become part of your family and educate your child to become the most confident, expressive, academic, creative and well rounded individual they can be.
